IIRC the fact that Fortran is LL(k) comes from the fact that the
language has hard rules on the maximum length of a statement. For
example, In Fortran 77 a statement can be at most 20 lines (no more
than 19 continuation lines), and only column 7 to 72 can be used. The
k in LL(k) in Fortran depends on the maximum number of characters in a
statement.
